1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Cell surface glycans play important cellular functions and are synthesized by glycosyltransferases. Structure and function studies show that the donor sugar specificity of the invertebrate β1,4-N-acetyl-glactosaminyltransferase (β4GalNAc-T) and the vertebrate β1,4-galactosyltransferase I (β4Gal-T1) are related by a single amino acid residue change. Comparison of the catalytic domain crystal structures of the β4Gal-T1 and the α-polypeptidyl-GalNAc-T (αppGalNAc-T) shows that their protein structure and sequences are similar. Therefore, it seems that the invertebrate β4GalNAc-T and the catalytic domain of αppGalNAc-T might have emerged from a common primordial gene. When vertebrates emerged from invertebrates, the amino acid that determines the donor sugar specificity of the invertebrate β4GalNAc-T might have mutated, thus converting the enzyme to a β4Gal-T1 in vertebrates.
